east coast.

So today was one of those 'not-alot-of-times' days where without make-up,wearing only t-shirt, shorts and slippers, i go out further than my neighbourhood. A yearly routine, almost every Labour day, Salem heads to East Coast for our baptism cum picnic. Initially did not want to go so i could stay at home to study etc, but was forced by mum (Raj was one of the baptism candidates,being his sister i should go and support him). So, shee sulked in the morning. But still enjoyed myself. (Dad commented on the way home bout me sulking and being grouchy and yet in the end, became one of the active ones.)
And how i loved the captain's ball game. =) my only form of exercise since Sojourners' picnic at Sentosa. At least, i sort of prepared for Napha today... if running, catching, oh and missing the ball too,throwing,screaming "DEE/JON/TIM/MANDA/ARUN/SAM/UNCLE BAN.. HERE !!!!" is good preparation.
We played among ourselves for some time at first. A mix between the youth and some adults. *Go unc ban, unc mark, unc lam, and raja!* Was a little accident prone today, the ball bounce off my head and into the hands of the other team's "catcher" Sam - don't know how to term the guys standing on the chair, catching the ball, goaly?? Must have been a funny sight.
Fell/slide to grab the ball a few times.
And collided badly into poor Jon, his head and my teeth(so pain!thank God no teeth dropped, imagine toothless me).. hope there arn't any teeth marks on your head Jon?
Somehow, we managed to get some attention while we were playing, so much so that another group asked if they could play against us - became a friendly match after,according to Tim, we were winning so much. The other team also had a mix of adults, teens and kids. Not bad. That lil boy who looked korean was an amazing catcher despite being short. A good part of the picnic was spent playing the game.It's a good thing mum forced me too, i wouldn't have enjoyed myself that much otherwise, good break from school.

How does Salem forming a captain's ball team sound? =)
